Aspects
Eris Conjunction Neptune
The disruptive, excluded force of Eris is fused with Neptune's dreams and illusions, so you sense the discord hidden beneath an idealized unity and feel the pull to expose what a comforting story leaves out. You may be drawn to the suffering the collective denies, or be the one whose presence disturbs a false peace. The shadow is disillusion that curdles into cynicism, or chaos in the realm of dreams and addictions. At its best this is the seer who names what the dream conceals. The work is to expose with compassion: reveal the denied truth in a way that heals rather than only shatters the illusion.
Lean in — Name the denied truth in a way that can heal, not only shatter.
Watch for — Let disillusion harden into cynicism.
